Discover Raspberry Pi in Bristol this summer at our pop‑up store
Calling all makers, coders, and curious minds: for two exclusive days, we’re bringing the Raspberry Pi store experience to Bristol.
- Dates: Friday 29 August and Saturday 30 August 2025
- Times: 9.30am–8pm
- Place: The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, Merlin Road, Patchway, Bristol, BS34 5DG (check out these handy directions from Google Maps)
You’ll find us in the lower mall close to JD Sports, The Body Shop, and Marks & Spencer.
What to expect
- Expert guidance: friendly Raspberry Pi staff can help you choose between different models, provide advice if you’re not sure what you need, and even do some project brainstorming if you’re wandering the shelves hoping for inspiration to hit.
- Our latest products plus trusted favourites: we’ll have a broad selection of latest-generation and older Raspberry Pi devices for sale, including Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 500, and our Raspberry Pi Pico series of microcontrollers.
- Accessories galore: Sense HATs, camera modules, power supplies, cases, cables, and more.
- Wearable merch: display your love for Raspberry Pi by donning a branded t-shirt, slapping some stickers on your stuff, slurping from one of our mugs or water bottles, or scribbling down your to-do list with our pens and notebooks.
This is the perfect opportunity to dive into Raspberry Pi and get hands-on with our products. You’ll find everything you need to get started on your next project, all without waiting for your online order to ship.
Always open: the Raspberry Pi Store in Cambridge, UK
Don’t forget that our permanent flagship store in our home town of Cambridge, UK is open all year round. It’s often the fastest way to get your hands on our new products when they launch, and it’s staffed with enthusiastic, knowledgable Raspberry Pi people.
We often host workshops and drop-in coding sessions, so keep an eye on our events listings for those. And of course you can wander in any time and play with the interactive Raspberry Pis on display, or just sit down at a station and start coding or gaming.
Where: The Grand Arcade, First floor, St Andrew’s Street, Cambridge CB2 3BJ (here are some useful directions from Google Maps)
Store hours: Monday–Friday 10am –5pm, Saturday 10am – 6pm, Sunday 11am –5pm

Whether you’ll be in Bristol for a weekend tech fix or heading to Cambridge for a deeper dive, we’re excited to support your Raspberry Pi journey. See you soon!

‘Tis “just around a corner” or two from me so I’m likely to “pop-in”.

Oh, brilliant – I’m glad we’ve made it to your neck of the woods!

I managed to “pop over as promised” and took my 3, ancient, early Pi’s (and Pimoroni cases) with me. Hope I didn’t take up too much of their time “chatting” but was good to meet up with some of the team.

I believe that the MicroCenter stores you have over there carry a good range of Raspberry Pi products?

That’s a good point

Shame it’s not in the city centre. Cribbs Causeway is too difficult to get to without a car.

There is a Bus Service…..

You’re assuming I live in Bristol. I don’t.
It’s two trains and a bus or at least three buses. Over two hours each way in the first option, probably longer with the second.
A city centre location would be one train and less than a hour each way.

Travelling by train to Bristol to access either of the main shopping centres has never been a “good experience” – both railway stations are located some distance away. I used to live on Bristol Parkway’s “doorstep” but it was still easier to take a bus into the city (although the train to Temple Meads was faster, ’twas a “long walk” from there). These days, IIRC, there’s a fast, M(etro) bus from Parkway to Cribbs.
(It’s not that uncommon, my “home city” – Nottingham’s main station was a “good walk away” from the “shopping centre”. Post-Beeching, my home town lost its rail service and it became easier for my parents to collect me from Long Eaton, esp. as Dad** was now based at Toton )

“Travelling by train to Bristol to access either of the main shopping centres has never been a “good experience””
True. And it’s been a while since I’ve done it. The ferry ride (yellow boats) from behind templemeads to castle park is rather pleasant though.

For me, ’tis “the other way around” – I can walk to Cribbs, but probably take the bus to the centre (I have a bus pass :-) ) – unlikely to use the car (parking’s too expensive). Also “city folks” could use the bus – Cribbs is a major bus station!

Won’t be able to resist a visit given this is soooo close to home!

Microcenter does carry Raspberry pi. They still carry blank CDs as well. I usually convert my videos to mp3 on my local drive.
